Song Zheng probably understood the wishful thinking of Taizu Huaxu: with a heavenly beard and a half-dao soul, the ancient country of Huaxu would continue to be destroyed for at least 30,000 years.
After 20,000 years, the treasure condensed in the imperial mausoleum took shape, the emperor who inherited the soul merged with the treasure, and the land demigod was born. No one in the entire world could be the opponent of the ancient Huaxu Kingdom.
His descendants can rule Huaxu from generation to generation, and even further conquer the entire Hongwu world.
Everyone who wants to be an emperor hopes that their world will last forever and that their descendants will rule the country forever. But Taizu Huaxu wonders if he has ever thought about it. What if his descendants are all stupid kings and tyrants? The more powerful they are, the more miserable the people will be.
.
Song Zheng could understand this kind of selfishness, but in his opinion, Taizu Hua Xu's spiritual level was not as noble as before.
Although Taizu Huaxu was so talented, he probably never thought that Tianxu would collapse so quickly. If Song Zheng had not appeared, the successor of the half-dao soul would always be the loser in the struggle for imperial power in the royal family, and would continue to pass on the inheritance for thousands of years.
Maybe this half of the soul will be lost in the long river of history - his wishful thinking will not work.
Song Zheng figured out the true purpose of the Imperial Tomb Formation, but failed to find the reason for the sudden change in the Imperial Tomb.
What interests him most now is not the reason for the disappearance of those spiritual beasts, but the thing under the tomb of Emperor Taizu.
The three ghost kings told him that it was precisely because of the existence of that thing that the entire Soul Falling Mountain could be independent from the rule of the underworld.
Taizu Huaxu's plan was also to use that thing to cultivate this treasure.
What is that thing?
After a night's rest, Song Zheng bought time for himself to think about the whole thing seriously. At this time, he did not hesitate to speculate on others with the greatest malice.
For example, the current Emperor Huaxu, did he have ulterior motives when he asked himself to solve the matter of the Imperial Tomb? For example, the royal family already knew the true meaning of the existence of the Imperial Tomb, and the Emperor wanted to become a land demigod, and he needed a powerful person.
The blood sacrifice of the monks gave birth to that treasure?
He considered all the possibilities in his mind and prepared for them one by one.
But he also knew very well that even if he had considered all possibilities, things in the world were changing and various accidents were still likely to happen, so he should still be cautious tomorrow.
The night passed suddenly, and Prince De and Meng Fangye were actually very anxious and got up very early to wait.
After Song Zheng came out and everyone had breakfast together, Prince De asked for instructions: "Where are you going to start today?"
Song Zheng had already thought about it last night and said: "Start from the imperial mausoleum of His Majesty the Ling Emperor."
Prince De and Meng Fangye were both a little surprised. They thought that the Song Campaign would definitely start from the Imperial Tomb of Taizu, after all, that was the source of all imperial tombs.
But since Song Zheng had decided so, they naturally followed it.
Song Zheng stood up, accompanied by Tianzun's personal guards. Prince De accompanied him, and Meng Fangye led the way. The leader of the tomb-keeper clan was only qualified to be a guide at this time.
"That's the entrance to His Majesty the Ling Emperor's mausoleum over there." Meng Fangye pointed to the two huge stone tablets in front of him and said.
Under the stone monument, there is a ten-foot stone beast crouching, and the entire stone monument is sixty feet high. In the center of the two stone monuments is a wide avenue.
Everyone walked in and saw that the Ling Emperor's imperial mausoleum was three hundred feet high and ten miles wide. The huge mound of earth was like a divine seal of heaven and earth, firmly suppressing the wild beasts in the Soulfall Mountain.
Prince De and Meng Fangye didn't know why Song Zheng started from Emperor Ling's tomb. That was because the original Tianxu collapsed during Emperor Ling's generation.
Taizu Huaxu knew that Tianxu would not be able to hold on for that long, so he issued a last edict: no half-dao souls were allowed to be used until the survival of the dynasty was at stake.
However, Emperor Ling only reigned for sixty years, but he used it twenty-one times! He may have used Tianxu more times than Taizu.
Excessive wear and tear finally caused Tianxu to collapse. And Lingdi also died at the moment Tianxu collapsed.
Song Zheng knew that the real purpose of the entire imperial mausoleum was to nurture the treasure, so it was natural for him to go to the mausoleum of the culprit who destroyed Tianxu.
The tomb chamber is huge but very simple.
It doesn't look like an emperor's tomb at all. It only has the most basic decorative patterns. These patterns are probably more used to cover up the formation patterns of the large formation.
Song Zheng was shocked for a moment at first, but soon felt relieved.
This fool has ruined Tianxu, and future generations will be missing the royal family's biggest weapon. I'm afraid his own son will not be able to forgive him. How can he be willing to properly repair his tomb? Anyway, everything should be kept simple and does not consume national power. This is the Taizu's
testament.
After walking around, he found that everything was normal here. There was peace in the coffin in the territory, and he had long turned into a withered skeleton. Song Zheng secretly looked at it with the eyes of the Yang God, and there were no weird changes in the bones of the Ling Emperor.
Song Zheng looked at all the nine floors above and below the Ling Emperor's tomb, and then said: "There is no need to choose in particular, just look all the way to Taizu's purpose."
The rest of the Yellow Emperor's tomb is decorated with various gold, silver, precious stones, jade, spiritual essence, etc. For an emperor's tomb, it is not very luxurious, but it is still of a normal level.
In all the large tombs, apart from the diffuse dragon energy, there is no dark and strange atmosphere at all. This is all the result of the great formation.
After seeing it on the spot, Song Zheng's first guess was that evil spirits were causing trouble, which was ruled out. In such a grand formation, there were no conditions for evil spirits to exist. Even the most resentful people would be here.
Being forcibly purified.
In the afternoon, they finally arrived at the tomb of Taizu Huaxu.
There are eleven floors up and down, Taizu's coffin is placed on the ninth floor, and there are two floors below.
The coffin is like a huge warship, placed in a special "city wall". On all four sides of the city wall, a huge special rune is outlined with gold powder. This rune has not even been seen by Song Zheng.
For a moment I couldn't see through the mystery behind it.
The surface of the coffin depicts patterns of sacred birds, flames, auspicious clouds and sacred mountains. It is very beautiful. Even after tens of thousands of years, the colors are still bright.
Three feet above the coffin, an oil lamp is suspended in the void.
The oil lamp looks ordinary. It is only the size of a soybean. It is very stable in such a closed space and does not float at all.
Song Zheng recalled the formation map of the large formation in his mind, and compared it with the actual situation in front of him, he couldn't help but nodded slowly.
Prince De couldn't help but asked: "What did your Excellency see?"
Song Zheng didn't answer, but just said: "Just go to the lower two floors and have a look."
Prince De and Meng Fangye wanted Song Zheng to explain clearly first, but they did not have the strength to press. Meng Fangye took out an ancient and huge golden dragon key from his arms and inserted it into a stone wall on the southwest side of this floor.
.
Amid the rumbling sound of boulders, a secret door appeared, revealing a downward stone staircase behind it.
Meng Fangye walked down first. On the stone walls on both sides, a pattern of formations first appeared, extremely complicated, and spread forward with him. And when his feet landed on the stone stairs, under his feet and above his head,
Similar patterns also appeared at the same time.
The formations on all four sides are connected into one, and Meng Fangye is surrounded by a blue sky.
The bottom two floors are the most secret and important places in the entire Huaxu Ancient Kingdom Imperial Tomb.
Song Zheng and Prince De followed and walked down together.
The area of the tenth floor is even larger than the previous one. It is a square with a side length of 160 feet. What is strange is that there is not a single pillar in such a large space!
Although the upper nine floors were built using cultivation methods, they all have normal load-bearing structures, and at most they can be reinforced with formations. But this floor feels like it is completely supported by formations.
But Song Zheng could feel that this space was filled with the power of dragon energy mixed with the energy of heaven and earth. These powers were guided by formations from all over the imperial mausoleum and injected into this space, but they could not retreat.
go back.
Most of the huge weight of the entire nine floors above Taizu's Imperial Tomb is borne by these energies. The weight squeezes these energies downward and mixes them into a place in the middle.
A small mountain of crystal gems "grows" here.
How tall a person is, shining with an intoxicating light.
If you look carefully, you can tell that there are a few thin light filaments in the crystal treasure mountain, which are used to guide the energy that has been squeezed and turned into a liquid.
The surrounding formations are constantly pouring in, and the compression speed is very slow. This space forms such a delicate balance.
If at any time, the surrounding dragon energy and heaven and earth energy are completely consumed, this place may collapse.
Song Zheng visited every place in this layer of space, compared it with the array diagram in his mind, and then said to Prince De: "Okay, let's go to the next layer."
Prince De and Meng Fangye wanted to know if he saw any problem, but Song Zheng had a solemn look on his face. They knew that they would not tell him even if they asked him, so they simply shut up.
This time, Meng Fangye took out three coins, each of the three of them ate one, and then placed their hands on the crystal treasure mountain.
A burst of light surged up from the Crystal Treasure Mountain, quickly pulling the three of them into the next level.
This process was not beautiful. It didn't even feel like traveling through the void, but rather like being dragged by someone and squeezed through two narrow stone walls.
They fell heavily on the eleventh floor. The surrounding void was originally dark, but as the three of them fell, speckled blue light emerged from the surroundings, flying around like fireflies, slowly lighting up.
the whole space.
Compared with the previous floor, this place is very small, only ten feet wide and three feet high.
Above the heads of the three people, a crystal-like stalactite spread down.
A drop of crystal liquid is slowly dripping from the stalactite to the bottom. Below is a strange plant with nine leaves. The main stem is pale golden, and a mysterious flower is blooming at the top.
